PROGRAMMING
YOUR REMOTE 8 CONTROL
You can use the remote control that came with your digital satellite receiver to control other components in your entertainment system. The remote control will control your digital satellite receiver and most brands of TVs brands and VCRs.
Programming the Remote
Control
There are two ways to program your remote control to match you equipment: code scan and code entry. Code scan can take some time, but it avoids having to refer to this manual to program your remote control. Code entry saves some time but you will need to look up the codes assigned to the devices.
Programming Mode
Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during this process. The remote control will send out the “power” command for the device being programmed.
While holding down the device key (i.e., TV) that you are programming, press the “Mute” key for one full second. Then release the keys. The device key should light and stay lit. If it doesn’t, repeat the process.
Then choose either the code scan or code entry method.
Code Scan
Once you are in programming mode, repeatedly tap the 
key to step through the codes, sending out the power command. This could take some time since there are could be many for each type of device. When your device shuts off, you have found the code. If you inadvertently go past a code that responded, or realized that you may not have been aiming the remote at the
device, you can use the 
key to step backward through the codes. Press the 
key to verify that you haven’t missed the code. In order to lock in the
code, press the device key again. The remote will remember the code until you reprogram it.
Code Entry
First, look up the device type and brand in the following charts. You will find a list of numbers; one or more of which should operate your device. If there is more than one code, you will need to try each of them to find the one that works best.
Once you are in code entry mode, enter the
